Shifts in ectomycorrhizal (ECM) community structure were examined across an experimental
hydrologic gradient on containerized seedlings of two oak species, Quercus montana and …

In this paper, we report molecular investigation of an ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) community
of European larch (Larix decidua Mill.) seedlings grown in a bare-root nursery. In total, we …

The hypothesis tested in this present study was that the ectomycorrhizosphere effect on the
bacterial community was not root-growth-dependent. The impacts of ectomycorrhizal …

We conducted this study to explore limitations for the establishment of mycorrhizal
associations in disturbed areas of the tropical dry ecosystem in the Chamela region of …

Niche differentiation in soil horizons, host species and natural nutrient gradients contribute
to the high diversity of ectomycorrhizal fungi in boreal forests. This study aims at …

Beech (Fagus sylvatica), a dominant forest species in Central Europe, competes for nitrogen
with soil microbes and suffers from N limitation under dry conditions. We hypothesized that …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are important mutualists for the growth and health of most
boreal trees. Forest age and its host species composition can impact the composition of …

In an accompanying editorial Dr Petr Baldrian made a case casting doubt on our recent work
addressing the saprophytic potential of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi. Dr Baldrian's statements …

Fine roots play a key role in carbon (C) and nutrient cycling, since fine root life span drives
soil organic C input and, thus, nitrogen (N) availability. The two main fungal symbioses …

In forest ecosystems, virtually all plant roots are mycorrhizal and enhanced nutrition and
growth of forest trees are the result. However, less is known about the different effects of …
